Worst sequel in movie history.

[mojo1701]

I'm 17 and I've been watching the OT since I was 3...age is no excuse!!!

I won't start an argument about comparing the trilogies. I just don't find the Prequels to be as bad as some people say they are. Look at the OT, and you'll see they aren't the greatest things in the world. We're the ones who've aged, not the movies. That's where most of the problems lie.

Very well. And I agree. I've heard a lot of people that don't like the new ones, but that's precisely the reason right there.

Besides, I wasn't into it (not until I was dragged to see Ep. I... long story...) and I also didn't know anyone who was into it much.

Oohhh..This is one tough subject. I mean there are so many choices. Let's see:

-Highlander 2-up (the utter awfulness of 2 makes people forget there were sequels nearly as bad)
-Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
-Jaws 2-up
-Halloween 4-up (I've never seen 3, so I can't count it)
-Phantom Menace
-Attack Of The Clones
-The World Is Not Enough (worst Bond film ever!)
-Jason Takes Manhattan (what the hell...?!)
-Batman & Robin
-Batman Forever
-Alien 3
-Matrix Reloaded (yes, it did suck)

Even though I've never seen them, I'll jog some people's memories by tossing out the word "Leprechaun". Relive the pain! *insert evil laughter here*

No, it's just that the new movies suck.

Don't get me wrong, it's okay to like movies that suck. I happen to like the Star Trek Meets God movie. Cheese is good.

Heh.

I don't agree at all. They don't suck...no, they aren't as good as the OT, but that's impossible. The Prequel's have a completely different mood to them...you have to detact yourself from the mood and feel of the OT to get into the Prequels. Besides...the Prequels happened BEFORE that type of mood existed anyway...but, eh. I said I wouldn't get into this...oh well.

Granted, the moods are different, but is "sucky" really an appropriate mood?

Yes. So Nyah!

Hello,

Regarding the Highlander 2 question: I'm pretty sure there was a re-edited "Renegade Version" that came out on video. It was supposed to be much closer to the creators' original intention than the...thing...that showed up in theaters wearing the H2 name. Among other things, it supposedly eliminated any reference to the immortals being some sort of alien race. Though not explicitly stated anywhere as far as I know, I've heard that this is also the version supposedly taken as canon for purposes of the TV series. Has anyone around here seen this version? How much of an improvement is it? (I'm going on the theory that pretty much any change would be for the better.)

Like Mark Chance and others, I also think it's interesting to contrast sequels that everyone pretty much knew were going to be bad (say, the Mortal Kombat sequel, and any sequel that went straight-to-video like the From Dusk 'til Dawn sequels), and were, to sequels that had high expectations and failed to reach them (like the Star Wars prequels, and the Matrix sequel) but are not really horrible taken on their own. I think one reason Highlander 2 makes these lists so often is that it did have high expectations and yet did turn out absolutely horribly.

I actually like Conan the Destroyer, too, but then, stirring Basil Poledouris music and a scantily-clad young Olivia d'Abo count for a lot with me...

My kids (now ages 5, 8 & 10) have not seen any of the Star Wars films. I have all five on tape, and my plan is to let them watch them in order I. to VI. We'll view the first two just prior to III.'s release to the theatres, see it there, then IV. to VI. afterwards. Sure, the prequel isn't as good, but that's fine in this case as they will just be moving on to something better.

Highlander 2 - felt that movie left stains on me and I needed to be cleaned like a bady! To this day I even hate to say I saw it and I tell people NOT TO WATCH IT, which is a funny shory as a friend did and went on to tell me how bad it was and why I did not warn him! So, what every you do DO NOT WATCH IT!

Speed 2 was a okay movie but I have this thing for Sandra.
